So, since the incident, she has been very reliant on physical therapy to help recover and rehabilitate. “I think it's almost been the biggest blessing to date because I realized what a fighter I am," she tells Deborah Roberts on Good Morning America.

In addition to physical therapy, Brooke shared that she was able to regain strength and put more weight on her leg by doing SoulCycle workouts regularly and using resistance bands. And, the best part is that you don't have to go all-out in order to receive the benefits from it. “You don't have to deadlift 100 pounds. You can do small, teeny movements to activate these little muscles that actually wrap around other bigger muscles, and they tighten them all in," she says to Today. "It was a revelation to work with a personal trainer and it not be a crazy painful thing." RELATED: Brooke Shields Feels “So Lucky To Be Alive” After Suffering Severe Leg Injury & Staph Infection
